Chapter 206 - Profit In Misfortune
"But..." As Desmond began to reread the information on the transparent screen, there was one thing that made him curious. "Does this effect also apply to races other than Beasts?" Desmond asked as he saw only the word 'beasts' mentioned.
[System Conclusion: The answer is uncertain. The holes indeed absorb energy from beasts from the analyzed data, but this does not apply when the natural energy enters the host's body.]
"I see..." Desmond nodded in understanding, along with a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. Although system said not certain, at least the answer from system does not rule out the possibility that it will happen.
"Unless, is in a slump, I won't use this method," Desmond continued while shrugging his shoulders. He can't be reckless since he was suspected by the kingdom as if there were eyes monitoring every his action.
Now, if he appeared to kill a person on purpose, it would be the same as admitting that he was the perpetrator who massacred the people in the tavern at that time.
"No, this should not be a problem but, if it wasn't for me that afraid about an unknown change in my race…." As Desmond was sighing helplessly while leaning his back on the sofa, he suddenly froze with his heart beating skipped a beat.
He suddenly thought back to the time when he first killed a human, "That time, it affected my emotions, that's why I can't continue but now with this blood…."
Desmond found that the night sky was slowly starting to be stained by a light shining from the east, with his eyes glancing at the window.
"No need to hurry; at least I know that will be the last resort," Desmond mumbled as he saw that it was almost dawn; he lay down on the sofa and want to rest but.. "Oops, almost forgot."
Desmond stood up, with he began to active his spell, the natural energies gathered around his body.
*crashes*
Instantly every particle of the natural energies turned into a ball of water floating in the air, which eventually merged and wet his clothes, and that also removed the bloodstains on his clothes.
"Actually, I hate this method..." Desmond grumbled, feeling his cold body make him uncomfortable. The sole reason was not only because of the cold sensation; the wooden floor beneath him now also formed a pool of blood from the cleaning earlier.
"If it weren't for I wanting to avoid suspicion," Desmond added as he bit his lower lip and reactivated his spell again. Unlike before, this time, he made the white particles floating in the air 1m away from his body."The weak are meat..."
The particles of natural energy around him suddenly turned into a small floating fireball, emitting the hot air and slowly making the water on his body dry up.
*hushed*
With his wet body and surrounded by the heat from the fireball from all directions, this made any water that had wanted to drip on the floor into steam, besides another steam also came out from under his clothes, as finally bigger, making it lump steam.

....
On the other hand, the pool of blood that swallowed his feet also evaporated until finally showing the clean wooden floor again as the heat slowly became hotter and began affecting the surrounding area.
Before the heat makes a fire and steam escape through the window, Desmond deactivates his spell, causing the fireballs to instantly turn back into floating particles before finally disappearing into the air.
Seeing that all the belongings in this room were safe, and the steam from the drying earlier had also dissipated, Desmond spoke, "I should check how much my gain today," while he was thinking this with enthusiasm, he also commands the system in his mind.

"This…" Seeing the status, Desmond's expression became unpleased to look as his brows knitted and gave the system his next order.

Looking at this sight, Desmond fell silent as he became pensive. He stared at the screen for a long time before finally groaning, "It's too outlandish! Even though the energy I get is purer, that doesn't mean it can take almost half of the energy I absorb. It's something not to be grateful for."
As Desmond complained to the system, there is no change occur. Looking at the screen again, he could only accept this change helplessly. Angry? to the system? It means I'm crazy.
Along with the temporarily silent, the sensation of strange calmeness began take effect."My mind is still calm, even in this state." Smiling faintly, Desmond then tried to feel the changes taking place in his body by closing off all four senses, with he being left only with the last sense.
Desmond began to feel the energy, the system word ringing in his mind, and he knows the system information is correct. This time, he felt the energy inside his body could be said to be 'light,' or rather, it makes his body seem to lose weight.
While trying to sense another change, his consciousness suddenly felt something interesting, "I see, this might be one of the factors why I can activate spells without needing to set points."
Desmond felt that every hole made in his bones became alive or flowing, same as his energy vessel, with the holes provided energy feedback. It was as if he could cast spells from any part of the bone.
After checking a few more times, Desmond finally retracted his consciousness and re-enable his senses again. "Sigh, although today I gained a lot of benefits, why still feel desperate and frustrated?" Desmond mumbled along with he felt his face turn pale as if he was rapidly growing old.
"Maybe it's because I'm too tired." Glancing back out the window, Desmond stated, "Time to sleep." This time he went over to his bed and threw himself just like Laura did.
But before that, the consciousness in his mind suddenly awakened. I need to wait for a good opportunity to kill both of them, Desmond thought coldly with the image of a middle-aged man and a purple hair tall boy flashed his mind before his consciousness finally sank into darkness.
